Every time I go to Vegas, I do my best to get out of the airport as quickly as possible. And for good reason (other than my overwhelming desire to go gamble away my life savings). There is NOTHING to do in this airport other than play slot machines and catch flights. There are no good restaurants; nowhere to comfortably sit and enjoy and adult beverage; no good shops. One time I got trapped in McCarran for over 5 hours during a monsoon storm. I wanted to gouge my eyes out I was so bored. I get it--the powers that be want you to go to the Strip and spend your money as fast as possible. But God help you if you get stuck there like I did.
